Jo Daviess County Sheriff ’s Office reports arrest

ELIZABETH — The Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s Office reports that on May 10 at approximately 5:35 p.m. a deputy from the Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop on Highway 20 near the intersection of Il Route 84 South in Rural Elizabeth.

River Ridge/Scales Mound regular season comes to close

By Chris Johnson Reporter

SCALES MOUND — Now that the regular season has come to a close for the boys’ baseball team at Scales Mound/ River Ridge, all focus must turn towards the 2016 Class 1A Playoffs.

Because of a decision made earlier, by the IHSA, the second round of the State Tournament will be held in Hanover.

For River Ridge/Scales Mound, the path back home will have to begin with an upset and then be followed by a second surprise win, based on

how the team was seeded for this year’s tournament.

River Ridge/Scales Mound was issued the five seed and any thought of advancing will consist of a victory over the three-seed Lena-Winslow Panthers.

The State Tournament begins on Monday, May 16 in Freeport.

Aquin will host the opening round games, with the exception of the play-in contest, featuring six-seed Rockford Christian Life and seven-seed Alden-Hebron.

Christian Life, because of the higher seed designation, will

host the Giants for the right to move on to play the top seed in the Freeport Aquin Regional, the number-two Bulldogs.

River Ridge/Scales Mound and Lena-Winslow already played each other this season, with a home-and-away series on April 5 and April 7.

Much has changed, as the season has progressed and upsets are a part of the pack-

age.

River Ridge/Scales Mound hopes to provide one of those.

Closing the NUIC regular season, the boys’ baseball team fell to the Dakota Indians, 12-4, but just three days earlier they defeated Port Byron Riverdale, in a rules-shortened affair, 10-0.

The Softball playoffs also began on Monday, May 16, as

action got underway in Eastland and continued in Pearl City.

The three seed accorded to Scales Mound/River Ridge means they won’t play their first game in the Class 1A Tournament until Wednesday, May 18, as they face the six-seed East Dubuque Lady Warriors.

Warhawks play host as playoffs begin

Swinging for the fences

The Wildcats of River Ridge faced the East Dubuque Warriors last weekend and after a close battle, emerged victorious.

I would like to say a huge “THANK YOU” to all of my family and friends who sent cards, called with well-wishes, and helped me to celebrate my 75th Birthday. You ALL made it a very special day and I am truly grateful to have all of you in my life.

STOCKTON — The eightseed Warren/Stockton Lady Warhawks opened the 2016 Class 2A State Softball Championship Tournament on Monday, May 16, as they played host to nine-seed Rockford Christian.

Stockton/Warren was slightly favored to win their opening round game, as scheduling indicates, with the Royal Lions taking it on the road. As a result of time restrictions, details of the contest are unavailable.

It is known that with a win, Warren-Stockton will move on to face the top seed in the Oregon Regional, Stillman Valley.

As a number eight seed, the trip into the post-season, according to statisticians and Selection Committee Members, could be short, as Stillman Valley is heavily favored to run through Oregon and back to Stillman Valley for the Sectional Round, beginning the week of May 23.

In the playoffs, however, surprises are likely, in many situations.

During the post-season, at times, a team heavily favored doesn’t always live up to all expectations. Upsets are common and it starts with pitching.

IMOJENE MILLER IS TURNING

94 ON MAY 26TH!

The Cardinals and Storm will face off on Wednesday, May 18.

If the three-seed Warhawks do advance past the Regional Final, they will move on to Morrison, which means they could possibly have to deal with top-seed Winnebago, next Wednesday, May 25.

The Indians are the overall number one seed in the Morrison Sectional Complex.

Winnebago, however, doesn’t have the easiest path itself, as they will have to get past longtime rival, four-seed Stillman Valley or five-seed Byron.

Heidi Gahm wins International Chapter of the Year Award WHITEWATER, Wis. — Heidi Gahm a junior marketing major from Lena, Il., won the International Chapter of the Year Award as a part of the UW-Whitewater American Marketing Association (AMA) chapter.

AMA won the award for the fifth consecutive year at the International Collegiate Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.

“Each year there is a whole new set of leaders and members who are working hard to maintain our position as the top chapter,” said Jimmy Peltier, AMA adviser since 1986.

“There are 350 chapters competing to become the International Chapter of the Year, so to dominate for so long is quite a testament to our students, college and university.

It is very rewarding to see so many advisers and student members from other chapters come up to me to acknowledge our efforts over such a long period of time.”

In addition to winning International Chapter of the Year, the chapter finished third in the country in the Case Team competition, the 10th time in 11 years that the AMA team made the finals.

Beginning in September, the chapter members spent countless hours gathering research to put together their presentation for the Hershey Icebreaker Cool Blast case. Once the chapter was notified in January that its case solution had made it to the finals, months were spent perfecting their client pitch to Hershey executives at the conference.

All work was done on an identical mannequin and had to be done in a classroom setting, under strict supervision by the instructor. Judging was done via the internet.

VIEWPOINT From the Desk of State Representative Brian W. Stewart Page 4 - May 18, 2016 - The Scoop Today/Shopper’s Guide

STATELINE — Last week was a busy one in Springfield.

Things are moving again.

Rank-and-file members of both parties negotiated a deal at the lunch table to send emergency funds to colleges, universities and students across Illinois. It was a temporary fix, but I’m optimistic that both sides are beginning to agree on things. The Governor signed the appropriation measure Senate Bill 2059 into law this week which released $600 million from the State’s Education Assistance Fund.

The Comptroller has stated that although there is only $345 million in the Education Assistance Fund, it is enough to immediately pay student MAP grants and she will work closely with colleges and universities to avoid further cuts and closings. The Education Assistance fund should have the $600 million on hand by June 30.

It’s amazing how we solve problems when we work together. For too long, it has been a battle between the Speaker and the Governor.

Millie Carton’s quote of the week “Giving up doesn’t always mean you’re weak. Sometimes it means you are strong and smart enough to let go and move on.”

Millie Carton

Brian Stewart STATE REPRESENTATIVE

The most vulnerable people in this state rely on us to get the job done. It saddens me that these people have become collateral damage in this ten month long fight. This week I saw a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel, but there are still a lot of things to discuss.

Earlier last week, the House voted on a massive tax hike on small businesses. If you are a business owner or simply a citizen who’s against taxes, rest assured our Republican opposition guaranteed that the bill failed to pass, but it is an example of the challenges we face. State government can do more with taxpayer dollars.

We need to ask ourselves if we’re spending wisely before saying that we need to take more from the citizens of Illinois.

Illinois has some of the highest sales and property taxes in the United States. The state’s sales tax is the tenth highest in the country. When you combine those two tax levies, the outcome is a crushing burden on small businesses.

Some small businesses may be able to afford an additional

ten percent tax, but the majority struggle to break-even.

Thankfully, Illinois has a low income tax rate as its saving grace. Experts have said that the proposal would bring Illinois up to the third most taxed state in the country, behind New York and New Jersey. I am afraid that if we were to raise income taxes on the seventy percent of small businesses, it would eliminate our last competitive advantage and there would be no reason for an entrepreneur to set up shop in Illinois.

This is no time for knee-jerk Constitutional Amendments.

We haven’t researched the effects of this legislation. In other states, similar taxes have failed miserably. The General Assembly should consider the unintended consequences experienced by states which enacted similar legislation. In New Jersey for instance, the State Treasury found that the taxes drove out approximately 20,000 taxpayers and the state lost $2.5 billion in tax revenue. Flat out, it’s a bad policy

that doesn’t work.

Senate President John Cullerton floated an idea to install a tracking device in your vehicle and charge you for every mile that you drive. I was opposed to this legislation from the get-go. His argument was that the roads are in terrible condition and there isn’t enough money to fix them.

The Motor Fuel tax, that we already collect, is intended to pay for road repairs. The problem is that past administrations have swept the road fund and spent that money on things other than roads and bridges. I have said it before; we can do more with what we have. We just need to spend wisely. I am very happy that the taxpayers spoke out against this attempted overreach. Because of the public outcry, Senate President John Cullerton announced he will not move forward with his plan to track everyone’s mileage.

Even with these outlandish ideas like a tracking device in your car or a massive tax

hike, I still think our compromise last week was a small win for everyone in this state.

For ten months, this tug-ofwar match has kept us from moving forward. Last week however, I saw signs that the rank-and-file members of the General Assembly are able to work together. I have a little more faith that we can have a civil debate and constructive conversation about the issues facing Illinois.

Last week’s session reminds me of a quote by Colin Powell who stated, “But just as they did in Philadelphia when they were writing the constitution, sooner or later, you’ve got to compromise. You’ve got to start making the compromises that arrive at a consensus to move the country forward.”

Just maybe last week was a start to move Illinois forward.

As always, you can reach me or Sally at 815/232-0774 or e-mail us at repstewart@ gmail.com. You can also visit my website at www.repbrianstewart.com or on Facebook.

Judge approves agreement in Ashoor Rasho vs. John Baldwin STATELINE — The Illinois Department of Corrections is pleased that the settlement agreement in the case of Ashoor Rasho v John Baldwin has been approved. U.S. District Judge Michael Mihm accepted the agreement on Friday, May 13, noting that the Department’s plans for improving the delivery of services for mentally ill offenders are “fair and reasonable.”

The agreement requires the Department to update its policies for treatment and observation, increase out of cell time for mentally ill offenders housed in segregation, construct four residential treatment units aimed at providing individualized care for mentally ill offenders, provide an inpatient level care for offenders who require the most intensive level of treatment, and hire additional staff to accommodate the changes.

While the Department does not admit liability regarding the allegations made in the suit, it does recognize that providing adequate care for

offenders with mental illness will improve their quality of life and ultimately improve safety within its correctional facilities. The Department has already taken significant steps to comply with the terms of the agreement: · The Department has updated its policies to ensure that Mental Health Professionals are involved in all disciplinary actions taken against those identified as having a mental illness. · The Department has revised its segregation policies for all offenders, which will continue to result in a significant reduction of segregation time. · Construction continues on the residential treatment units at Dixon, Pontiac, and Logan Correctional Centers as well as the former IYC Joliet facility. · The Department has hired additional mental health staff for the treatment units at Dixon and Logan. · The Department has partnered with the National Alli-

ance on Mental Illness in Illinois to develop curriculum and ensure all IDOC staff receives training on how to better interact with, communicate with, and understand the needs of those who require treatment. · The Department has hired an internal legal advisor and has secured an external monitor to ensure that it remains in compliance with the agreement.

The Ashoor Rasho case has lingered in the courts since 2007 after an offender at Pontiac Correctional Center filed suit challenging the delivery of mental health services within the IDOC. The Department reached a partial agreement in 2013 but had not been able to fully implement a plan to streamline mental health services. Governor Rauner’s commitment to improving the state’s correctional system put the case on a fast track and his administration worked diligently with the IDOC legal team to reach a suitable agreement.

Nashville recording artists Farewell Angelina to perform

MOUNT CARROLL — Timber Lake Playhouse in association with Timber Lake Resort and Ron Swanson will present the award winning country music group, Farewell Angelina, in concert for a one night only concert at 7 p.m. on Saturday May 21. Farewell Angelina is an all-female country quartet featuring four women who are each award-winning songwriters, dynamic singers and multiinstrumentalists.

Band members Nicole Witt, Andrea Young and Elizabeth Elkins teamed up with noted Nashville harmony singer and solo artist Lisa Torres in late 2014.

The band members have had songs recorded by George Strait, Lee Brice and Billy Currington, and their instrumental and vocal talents have graced and enhanced country stars including Jason Aldean, Trace Adkins, Josh Thompson, Jana Kramer, Frankie Ballard and Jarrod Niemann.

Together the band’s magic blend of a multitude of stringed instruments and unique harmonies has taken Nashville by storm. 2016 marks the release of their debut single and EP on Stegall’s Dreamlined Entertainment.

The concert at Timber Lake Playhouse is only $20 and will begin at 7 p.m. with a cash bar opening at 6:30.

On Sunday, May 22, the playhouse will host a casual evening for the public to “Meet the Company.” Artistic Director James Beaudry will introduce the fiftyfifth Resident Company that will produce the playhouse’s main stage summer season.

The not so skinny cook

LENA — I think I jinxed the weather because last week I said we were getting warmer weather. This weekend was anything but warm. I had to bring my hibiscus plant in, and I am not certain it didn’t get nipped during the day on Saturday. Frost warnings are out as I

write this column. However, it does have to get warm eventually, so we do have some spring time recipes to share.

I bought my first Vidalia onions this past week. I love their sweet taste (I am sure other sweet onions are just as good, but I buy into the hype of these special onions.) and look forward to them being in stores in the spring. This easy dish uses their great flavor. Enjoy this great appetizer or use it as a topping for baked potatoes.

Cheesy Caramelized Onion Dip 1 T. oil 1 large Vidalia onion, chipped, about 2 cups 1 pkg. shredded Pepper Jack cheese

1 ½ C. mayo 1 T. chopped fresh chives Preheat the oven to 325.

Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the onions and cook 13-15 minutes or until tender and golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in the cheese and mayo.

Spread the onion, cheese, and mayo mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake 45-55 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chives. Serve with crackers or pita chips.

This easy vegetable casserole will make a great side to any meal. The tomato vinaigrette dressing can be substituted with regular vinaigrette dressing. The added crunch of the radishes on top makes for a tasty salad or vegetable.

6 radishes, cut lengthwise in half, then sliced crosswise 2 T. chopped fresh parsley Cook the carrots in large pan of boiling water for 5-7 minutes or until crisp tender, adding the peas for the last 2 minutes. In a small saucepan, cook the sugar, dressing, and butter on low heat 3-5 minutes or until dressing mixture is well blended and thickened, stirring occasionally. Drain the cooked vegetables and return to pan.

Add the dressing mixture and cook and stir for 1 minute or until the vegetables are evenly coated with dressing. Stir in radishes and parsley.

Asparagus is still very plentiful. This great main dish is easy to prepare, and it puts a tasty meal on the table in a short amount of time. The biscuits can be found in the frozen food section of the grocery store. I often ask for a wedge of ham from the deli case and then cube it up. Enjoy this great way to use asparagus.

Ham and Asparagus Pot Pie 6 frozen Pillsbury Grands Frozen Flakey Biscuits ¼ C. butter 2½ C. fresh asparagus in 1-inch pieces 1 C. thinly sliced carrots ½ C. flour 1 t. salt ¾ t. dried thyme ½ t. onion powder ¼ t. black pepper 3 C. chicken broth, divided 1 C. heavy whipping cream 4 C. chopped ham Preheat the oven to 375.

Spray a shallow 3 quart baking dish with cooking spray.

Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. In the baking sheet, place the biscuits and bake until bottoms are lightly browned, about 8 minutes.

Remove from the oven and loosen biscuits with a spatula (biscuits will not be fully baked).

In a small Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, salt, thyme, onion powder, and pepper; whisk in ½ cup chicken broth until smooth. Whisk the flour mixture, cream, and remaining 2½ cups of broth into vegetables, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ham. Pour

the mixture into the prepared baking dish, and top with partially baked biscuits.

Bake until filling is hot and bubbly and biscuits are golden brown, about 12 minutes.

Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

In our tour of rhubarb recipes, this rhubarb-strawberry coffee cake is a good one. You can use frozen rhubarb for this recipe if you want to make it in the fall or winter. The cream cheese filling adds just the right amount of creamy flavor to the cake. Once again it is made in a smaller pan, so it can be eaten at one setting as a dessert. The rhubarb will not make the cake soggy when you eat it right away.

Rhubarb and Strawberry Coffee Cake 1½ t. cornstarch 3 T. sugar ¾ C. chopped fresh strawberries ¾ C. chopped fresh rhubarb 1 T. water Filling: 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened ½ C. sugar 1 large egg Cake: 2 C. flour ¾ C. sugar ½ C. cold butter, cubed ½ t. baking powder ½ t. baking soda ¼ t. salt 1 large egg, beaten ¾ C. sour cream 1 t. vanilla Preheat the oven to 350. Line the bottom of a greased 9-inch spring form pan with parchment paper; grease the paper.

In a saucepan, mix the cornstarch and sugar; stir in strawberries, rhubarb and water.

Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, 6-8 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. For filling: in a small bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg.

Combine the flour and sugar and cut in the butter. Reserve ¾ cup. Stir baking powder, soda, and salt into remaining flour mixture. Whisk the egg, sour cream and vanilla; stir into the flour mixture.

Spread the batter onto the bottom and ½ inch up sides of pan. Spread filling over the crust, leaving a ½-inch border.

Spoon strawberry mixture over the top; sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.

Senate week in review May 9-13

SPRINGFIELD — Senate and House of Representative lawmakers came together during the week to pass a $714 million stopgap funding measure for struggling human services agencies and organizations.

In other action, legislation purported to represent school funding reform was forced through the Senate, despite analysis from the Illinois State Board of Education showing that the plan is little more than a thinly-veiled bailout for Chicago schools.

Also during the week, fire-

fighters from across Illinois were in Springfield to honor the bravery and sacrifice of some of their comrades.

Human services funding clears both chambers Both chambers of the General Assembly approved appropriations of $714 million to help struggling human services programs and providers keep their doors open.

Senate Bill 2038 spends $456.8 million from a special fund that collected a percentage of revenue from the 2010 income tax hike. The remaining balance comes from several

other miscellaneous state funds, but the entire package is based on existing revenue.

During debate, my colleagues asked why no money was included for essential operations, like utilities, maintenance and food. Such operations funding is not only critical to mental health facilities, but to correctional facilities in all regions of the state.

Senate Bill 2038 now heads to the Governor for his consideration.

School funding bill redirects money to Chicago The school funding reform bill, Senate Bill 231, faces an uncertain future in the House of Representatives, where lawmakers are currently reviewing other options.

Data released by the Illinois State Board of Education shows that Senate Bill 231 would represent a windfall of approximately $750 million for Chicago Public Schools (CPS), while shuffling around the limited remaining dollars between a majority of the state’s school districts.

Sponsor State Sen. Andy Manar of Bunker Hill said his proposal provides “one formula for the entire state” with “no special deals” for any one district. In reality, the bill gives Chicago a larger share of several state grants than if they were treated the same as all other school districts. Combined, those grants would total $368 million in special deals for CPS. In addition, the legislation alters the school funding formula to benefit Chicago, worth $175 million, and would give the financially-strapped district a pension bailout costing $205 million. In total, CPS would receive $750 million in special deals at the expense of the rest of the state.

Manar also touted a “hold harmless” provision that would keep all schools at their Fiscal Year 2015 funding level— but for just one year. Then the provision would taper off by 25 percent per year, leaving schools to face the full brunt of the cuts in just four years.

The “hold harmless” provision, and another that would provide adequacy grants to help schools, would only be possible with an extra $442 million in funding. With the state’s budget deficit at several billion dollars, it seems very unlikely that the sponsor can find another half-billion dollars in funding, which leaves schools facing the full brunt of the cuts immediately.

USDA releases results of new survey on honey bee colony health WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agriculture Statistics Service released the results of its first ever Honey Bee Colony Loss survey today.

Those results are available online at: http://www.usda. gov/nass/PUBS/TODAYRPT/ hcny0516.pdf The survey queried more than 20,000 honey beekeepers about the number of colonies, colonies lost, colonies added, and colonies affected by certain stressors and gleans statelevel estimates on key honey bee health topics. The survey was developed as part of the “National Strategy to Promote the Health of Honey Bees and Other Pollinators” released last summer, and gleans statelevel estimates on key pollinator health topics.

Results from the survey will provide statistically strong baseline information about honey bee losses and can help guide honey bee management decisions in the United States.

NASS created the survey questions with input from beekeepers and researchers, and other stakeholders. The results will allow USDA and other federal departments and agencies to create a more unified and complementary approach to implementing the National Strategy, which was unveiled in May 2015.

“Pollinators are essential to the production of food, and in the United States, honey bees pollinate an estimated $15 billion of crops each year, ranging from almonds to zuc-

Stockton Community School District #206 to hold Amended Budget Hearing STOCKTON — By order of Mr. Robert VenHuizen, Board of Education President the Stockton Community School District #206 will hold an Amended Budget Hearing in the High School Library at 6:45 p.m. on Monday, June 20.

chinis,” said Dr. Ann Bartuska, USDA Deputy Under Secretary for Research, Education and Economics. “This new data will add to USDA’s robust scientific body of knowledge on the inventory, movement and death loss of honeybees in the United States.”

For this report, NASS surveyed 3,300 beekeeping operations with five or more colonies on a quarterly basis, following their operations throughout the year. In addition, NASS surveyed a sample of 20,000 beekeepers who have less than five colonies annually. Data collected covers the state in which colonies are located, movement of colonies between states, newly added or replaced colonies, number of colonies lost, colonies renovated, and presence of colony stressors and specific signs of illness. The responses allow USDA for the first time to differentiate patterns between small-scale and commercial beekeepers, analyze data on a state-by-state basis, and compare more specific quarterly losses, additions and renovations for larger scale beekeepers.

According to the survey released this week, there were 2.59 million or 8% fewer honey bee colonies on January 1, 2016 than the 2.82 million present a year earlier on January 1, 2015 for operations with five or more colonies. New quarterly colony data allow new levels of analysis. For example, there was an 18% loss of colonies in the JanuaryMarch quarter in 2015 and a 17% loss in the same quarter in 2016. Honey beekeepers with five or more colonies reported Varroa mites as the leading stressor affecting colonies. They also reported more

colonies with symptoms of Colony Collapse Disorder lost in the first quarter of 2016 with 113,930 than the 92,250 lost in the same quarter in 2015.

This research complements other information USDA and partners have been collecting for years. For example, in March NASS released its annual report on honey production and prices for 2015.

This report, which is used

by USDA, producers, economists, agribusiness and others, found that U.S. honey production in 2015 from producers with five or more colonies totaled 157 million pounds, down 12 percent from 2014.

There were 2.66 million colonies from which honey was harvested in 2015, down 3 percent from 2014. Honey prices were 209.0 cents per pound, down 4 percent from a record high of 217.3 cents per pound in 2014.

In addition, for the past 10 years USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture

Christ Lutheran Church in Stockton welcomes kids to Ocean Commotion VBS STOCKTON — Prepare for a boatload of excitement at Ocean Commotion, VBS for 2016 at Christ Lutheran Church in Stockton! Every day, kids are challenged to stand for God in their schools, among their friends, in our culture...no matter what. And, they’re bombarded with the lie that God’s Word isn’t true when it talks about earthly things (rocks, fossils), so it can’t be trusted to tell the truth about spiritual things.

Noah experienced the same challenges during the time of the great Flood thousands of years ago. Yet, by God’s grace, he was able to stand for God, obey God, trust God, thank God and fear God no matter what.

The biggest watery catastrophe the world has ever known happened during his lifetime.

But through it all, Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

Monroe Clinic Hospice Support Group offers grief education MONROE, WI. — The journey through grief is difficult.

Many people find it comforting to face grief with others experiencing similar challenges.

Monroe Clinic Hospice is holding a six-week Hope Eternal after Loss (HEAL) grief

education and support group, which provides resources and encouragement for people grieving the death of a loved one.

The six-week HEAL group meets Wednesdays, 6-7:30 p.m., June 1 through July 6 at the St. Camillus Center, 2101

6th Street in Monroe, Wis. The HEAL support group is free and open to adults over 18 who have experienced the death of someone special. In this sympathetic setting helpful discussion topics include: The importance of information and support as we grieve

Understanding grief as a process Identifying and accepting normal feelings when grieving Past and present losses Factors which complicate grief Coping with the stress of grief

Remembering: memorials and anniversaries For more information or to register, call Monroe Clinic Hospice at 608-324-1230 or 800-367-8406, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or go to the event calendar at monroeclinic.org.

umn. It will be kids on bicycles and playing lots of places where we need to be aware of them playing. My street has some kids, and we don’t have very many people who observe the speed limit. Please slow down when driving on Lena Street, Main Street, and Mason Street.

Be especially vigilant after the opening of Splashland and park activities. We also must be aware of farm equipment on the roads. Every Sunday during the spring and fall, Bruce Johnson from the Farm Bureau makes the case for slowing down on roads.

The planting season will probably last longer this year because of all the bad weather we have had. I know that I am not always vigilant when driving during this time of the year, and we all need to be aware of this equipment.

Next week we will try to have some recipes for Memorial Day which is the unofficial start of summer. Picnics will be the next food celebration. If you have any good picnic foods, and if you find some more rhubarb and strawberry recipes, you can send

them our way.

If you have any spring or early summer recipes to share, you can contact us in person, by mail, or

email us at From Lena’s Kitchens, Shopper’s Guide at 213 S. Center St. or email scoopshopper@rvpublishing.com.

One way we can help each other get through these challenging times is to keep our dollars local.

Here are three good reasons.

Reason #1: Shopping locally saves you gas and wear and tear on your vehicle.

Reason #2: When you spend your money locally, you support the businesses whose property taxes pay for our municipal services.

Reason #3: Many of our youth programs are supported and sponsored by local businesses and if we don’t support them, they can’t support our kids.

• SEASON

Continued from page 1 Statistics imply Scales Mound/River Ridge should be favored in their opening round game.

After the Regional Semifinal, there is a chance the season could face a shortened path, as a possible match up with the two-seed Pearl City Lady Wolves could be looming in the Regional Championship Game.

If an upset occurs and Pearl City bows out, Scales Mound/ River Ridge will advance to Pecatonica as the Pearl City Regional Champion and will face the winner from the Dakota Regional.

The Lady Indians are the top overall seed in the Pecatonica Sectional Complex and are expected to move through the opening round of the tournament and advance to Pecatonica.

Dakota faces eight-seed South Beloit in its Regional opener.

Four-seed Durand and fiveseed Pecatonica will battle in the second Regional Semi-final.

JO DAVIESS COUNTY — The Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s Office is warning the public of a couple scams currently occurring in Jo Daviess County.

One of the scams is a phone call informing individuals that the Internal Revenue Service filed a lawsuit against the individual and they need to make immediate payment over the phone. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will only make contact by mail.

The second scam is regarding computers and/or internet. The caller will indicate that they are receiving a message that your computer is running slow or having technical issues. The caller may also ask about email addresses that you have. The offender is trying to “hack” into your computer to gain information such as name, address, email address, passwords, bank account information, and/or anything else they can find in your computer. Please do not give any information such as email address or IP address.
